My first review did not post. Here I go again. My wife got absolutely scammed by Cartez. She went…read morein for a consultation for a perm. Showed the reference photos. He said to grow it out another month and scheduled the perm. She was so excited and he assured her he could achieve what she wanted. Unfortunately, that clearly did not happen. She left and called me in tears too embarrassed to say anything and out $340 for nothing more than a traumatic salon experience. There are no curls whatsoever. The rods used were way too big for her short hair. This is essentially a root lift. Not what she asked for. The cut is shorter and choppier than what she wanted in the back. The rods were all over the place and not in line, causing her hair part to be jagged considering there are no curls to cover it. I called the store and asked to speak with the owner. I keep getting the run around and more excuses I'm not buying. This is unacceptable at any reputable salon which means this clearly isn't one. After several run around calls with the front office coordinator, Cartez graciously offered to fix her hair, but how can we trust him when he couldn't do it the first time and has so many other terrible reviews naming him between here and google. I keep being told Tiffany will call me. That was Thursday. Now it won't be until Tuesday. If I don't hear anything by Tuesday I am coming in person to be dealt with. I'm not being ignored or gaslit. This is wrong, unethical and fucked up to charge someone such an astronomical amount for something they did not ask for and then gaslight them into thinking they know what they are doing. Cartez shamed her for going to a barber shop, rushed because his next client came in, and really took advantage of the pink tax by charging her 88 dollars for a women's cut, while by the looks of other comments a mens is somewhere around 40. Like I said I'm not buying the excuses being told via the middleman, and I don't care to be a Karen when it is warranted. If this isn't resolved I will literally not stop shitting about it online. Tiffany, call me please.

I literally had one of the best haircuts of my life with Ginger at this salon. For the past 10…read moreyears, I have had my hair cut in different versions of a bob - it was time for a change. So I have been searching for a hair salon / stylist in Atlanta who I can trust to give me something new. Plus, I had just been laid off, and needed a positive change. So, I went in with a couple of haircut images from a magazine, and crossed fingers. First of all, Ginger looked at the photos and asked me, "What is it that you like about this hairstyle?" Now, that's a smart question. Then, she listened. My haircut has exceeded my expectations in every way (see photos.) I actually have a hair style that is very much of the moment that is effortless to style (I wet it every morning, run product through it, and let it air dry - that's all.) At one point, I realized Ginger was in a flow state when she was cutting my hair - that's the point when you are so in sync with what you are doing that we all look for when we perform a sport, play an instrument, draw, construct something, repair an engine - anything that utterly engrosses your mind & you are taking pure pleasure in what you are doing. Ginger has mad skills. I almost did not want to post this because I know competition for appointments could increase, but - that would be selfish, and she should be recognized as a talent.

I always leave happy and feeling great. Marlon is always fun to chat with and that's one my favorite parts of the visit. The salon is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed and it's never overcrowded like most salons I've ever been to. Parking: there are a few spots in front of the salon and a few more behind the building. However, there is a large (free) parking lot less than a block away on Lake St (very short walk).

John understands my quirky gray curly/wavy hair. I feel fun and fresh after his cut.read more

First haircut since I moved here from Brooklyn- my wavy/ curly hair had not been cut since August…read more2023- and the whole experience wildly exceeded my expectations. First of all, Rutabaga salon = John. So, no distractions. Chill environment, John has quiet confidence & is comfortable in his skin, so you are instantly at ease. You can just be yourself. (Not every salon or stylist is like this- sometimes it feels like poser central & it's just exhausting.) We talked about what I wanted, he washed my hair, and cut it- conversation flowed easily, but I also sensed that if I just wanted to be quiet that would have been fine also. But- let's talk about the cut! Layers can go very wrong with my hair, so I have avoided them for 5 years. Length weighs my curls down so that it is wavy. When it is cut: boing! And my curl pattern is irregular. I don't blow it dry. My styling method is: wet my hair. Add non-silicon leave in conditioner (As I Am, Camille Rose, JVN). Maybe a little salt spray or tiny bit of oil once it dries. John, of course, knew this, because he *asked*. Post haircut- I wake up- my hair looks great. My hair looks amazing wet, too. The layers frame my face and don't do anything weird-- you have NO idea how many times that has not been the case. [The last time I had layers it was a "precision" cut and the stylist used some kind of cream full of beeswax that my porous hair sucked up. I looked like I had a wig. And of course that was the week I had my corporate head shot.] So, TL; DR: Reasonably priced, first-rate haircut. Focused, expert stylist who will put you at ease. TWO TIPS: parking for the salon is on E. Howard, so make the turn either right after you cross the railroad tracks or right before- depending on which way you are going. Book in advance!! Unsurprisingly, he stays busy. I booked my March appointment in February- it was well worth the wait, but don't expect to call & get a slot straightaway.

I have super thick, unruly, curly hair (which is probably why I don't get it cut often -- no one knows how to handle it) however, the cut Timothy gave me was EXACTLY what I wanted. He was able to make it look healthy and happy without sacrificing too much length. Just as a great extra, he also taught me some nifty hair curling techniques that have cut my daily styling time in half. I'm so incredibly happy with the cut I received, I will be going back (and often)! I would also have no qualms about recommending Timothy or any of the Salon Red staff to any of my friends. Everyone was polite, kind, and very professional. Thanks again, Timothy. You're wonderful.

Level 7 salon Owner Stephen Ciccone has cultivated something…read morerare: a space where listening matters as much as technique, and where individuality is honored rather than overridden. From the moment you step into Level 7 Salon, you can feel it--the harmony of creative energy and genuine human connection. The space buzzes with movement and conversation, yet somehow still feels calm, personal, and completely welcoming. Whether you're a longtime regular or visiting for the first time, you're met with warmth, kindness, and the immediate sense that you're in very capable hands. What makes Level 7 more than just a salon is the people. Every stylist, assistant, and front-desk team member contributes to an environment rooted in respect, artistry, and shared support. There's no ego here--only collaboration, mutual encouragement, and a collective passion for helping clients feel their absolute best. John Devlin I've worked with John Devlin continuously since 1992, and it's rare to find a stylist whose work only improves with time. Over the decades, John has been a constant, trusted expert in my grooming, haircuts, and color--adapting not only to changing styles, but to changes in hair texture, lifestyle, and priorities as life evolves. What sets John apart is his precision and judgment. He doesn't chase trends or over-style. Every cut is intentional, balanced, and tailored. He favors scissor work, which means shape and proportion are carefully considered rather than forced. His color work is equally thoughtful--dimensional, flattering, and never overdone. John listens closely and consults honestly. Whether I come in with a clear vision or just an idea, he refines it, elevates it, and turns it into something that feels authentic to me. Over the years, he's guided me through every phase imaginable--super-short cuts, growing-it-out periods, subtle highlights, and even a full head of silver. At times, he's also gently steered me away from styles that wouldn't truly serve me, and that discernment is a big part of why I trust him completely. John's decades of experience show in his calm confidence and consistency. There's no rush and no ego--just craftsmanship, care, and results you can live with every day. If you're looking for a stylist with longevity, discernment, and genuine expertise--especially for clients like myself who value thoughtful, well-executed grooming--John Devlin is exceptional.
